‘Let The Children Die First’: African Cult Leader ‘Convinced’ Over 400 People To Starve Themselves To Death For End Of The World
Published By admin with Comments 0
A horrifying chapter in Kenya’s history was uncovered when authorities raided the Good News International Ministries (GNIM), led by self-proclaimed pastor Paul Nthenge Mackenzie. Mackenzie convinced over 400 people, including children, to starve themselves to death in preparation for what he described as the ‘end of the world’. The discovery of mass graves shocked the nation, leaving survivors and the families of the deceased haunted by the tragedy.
The Discovery of the Cult and Mass Graves
In March 2023, Kenyan authorities began investigating after a man reported that his wife and daughter had joined Mackenzie’s doomsday cult in the Shakahola Forest and never returned. This triggered a police raid, during which they discovered emaciated survivors and hundreds of bodies buried in shallow graves. As of October 2024, a total of 436 bodies had been recovered from Mackenzie’s 800-acre commune in one of the deadliest cult-related massacres ever recorded.
